Lord Chancellor warrant regulations

A consultation on proposed regulations concerning the Legal Services Board's ability to apply for warrants to allow entry to the premises of approved regulators.

The warrants confer the right to enter and search the premises of approved regulators where the Legal Services Board has issued an intervention direction or where an approved regulator has had its designation cancelled.

This consultation asked a range of questions about how that power will be regulated, including what a judge should take into account in deciding whether a warrant is necessary, and whether any material should be exempt from search warrants.
